Recommended reading

Do you love a good mystery?  If yes, then you’ll appreciate these three novels.

Plantation Murders by Karen Thurecht is delightful and unsettling and would be enjoyed by readers of Australian history. It’s a who-done-it murder-mystery, based on real events in the 19th century. Dr Hamish Hart investigates Kaelo Rees’ wrongful arrest for murder with his friend Rita Cartright. It’s a twisty-turny story with delightful reveals about everyday life in this period.

In Alone with a Tasman Tiger, a fight for domination in the Tasmanian bush, and on the sea during a high-profile yacht race has devastating consequences. Now it’s up to fashion designer Charlotte Harmon together with drummer, Galina Ivanov to follow the clues which will save their partners and stop the spread of a devastating weapon

The Torrent, is a descriptive and highly evocative police procedural novel set during a period of flooding near Murwillumbah in northern NSW. It has diverse and beautifully described characters, with story reveals up until the final pages.
